Low Vitamin C in the Dry Blood Sample

When I do Dry Blood Cell Auditing, I find this peripheral coast in nearly everyone’s sample of blood. When there is a coast around the blood blot, it is a sign of low vitamin c. Low vitamin c makes poor adhesion of the cells around the periphery of the specimen.

As degenerative disease begins to increase, the lakes in the specimen become greater and greater. There are not suppose be any holes in the sample so when we see these holes in a Dry Blood Cell Audit, we can suspect some type of collagen disease.

7 Benefits of Vitamin C

1. Healthy Hair, Skin and Nails

Vitamin C is needed to make collagen which is a building block for your hair, skin and nails.

Collagen decreases with age which can lead to hair loss and grey hair. Vitamin C helps to build the collagen that is needed to prevent hair loss and keep hair strong, moist, and split end free.

2. Helps absorb iron

Vitamin c helps to absorb the iron needed to brings oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. We need iron to help build our blood and have healthy circulation. Without healthy red blood cells you cannot get enough oxygen. A lack of oxygen and low circulation can lead to low energy and fatigue, and other health challenges.

3. Oral Health

Bleeding gums and inflammation of the gums (gingivitis) are a sign of low vitamin c. Foods and supplements high in vitamin c can help with these conditions, as well as having healthy teeth.

4. Better Recovery

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that fights free radical damage. Use some before exercising because exercise causes oxidant build-up. It will help with your a more speedy recovery.

It is also great for wound healing and easy bruising.

5. Improves mineral absorption

Enzymes are the catalyst in all of our body’s reactions and much of the detoxification process. Minerals work with enzymes to do this work and vitamin c helps to absorb the minerals we consume so they are more bio-available.

6. Helps reduce stress

Vitamin c helps to combat the effects of physiological and psychological stress. It helps to reduce the stress hormone cortisol that adrenal glands produce in a flight or flight situation. Cortisol can lead to belly fat, high blood pressure and high blood sugar, which all decrease our immunity.

7. Immune System Health

It helps the immune system to protect us from disease. 70-90% of our immune system is in our gut. When our gut is leaky it can create auto-immune conditions and other health challenges. Vitamin C helps to make the collagen necessary to help to rebuild a leaky gut so the nutrients can be absorbed adequately and not leave toxic waste.

Vitamin C Supplementation

As a result of seeing the coast in almost everyone’s dry blood sample, I have discovered that it is important for most people to constantly be supplementing with vitamin c, but it is important to choose the right kind.

Synthetic Vitamin C

Ascorbic acid, which is commonly known as vitamin c is synthetic. It is not the pure form of vitamin c that comes from food and is minimally processed.

Liposomal Vitamin C

Liposomal vitamin c is a form of vitamin c that is encapsulated with some form of lecithin so that it by passes the stomach and has an easier entry into the cells. This is an effective way of consuming vitamin c but most of the liposomal vitamin c on the market is made with the synthetic ascorbic acid.
